Mobile Security

In the past couple of years Android™ has become the most widespread mobile platform. Software development for the Android™ platform relies on the Java™ programming language and offers almost all features of the Java™ framework. Hence, together with the high computational power of modern smartphones, our most important crypto toolkits are ready to use for Android™ app development.

All you have to do in order to include the IAIK libraries, is to copy the corresponding .jar files to the libs/ directory of your Eclipse Android™ project.

The IAIK Provider for the Java™ Cryptography Extension (IAIK-JCE) is a set of APIs and implementations of cryptographic functionality, including hash functions, message authentication codes, symmetric, asymmetric, stream, and block encryption, key and certificate management. It supplements the security functionality of the default JDK.

IAIK proudly presents the IAIK ECCelerate™ library for the Java™ platform. It is based on Java 6 technology and offers easy to use elliptic curve cryptography protocols, like ECDSA, ECDH, ECIES and ECMQV (optional), compliant with current standards. As of version 3.0, it also provides support for Type-2 and Type-3 bilinear pairings on Barreto-Naehrig curves. ECCelerate™ is an add-on to the IAIK JCE provider (of version 4.0 or higher), which you have to download and install separately.
